Finance Training Course – Course Outline – ICAAP Models: ALM & Interest Rate Simulations for ICAAP

2 mins read

This advanced ICAAP modules workshop focuses on issues related to modelling using Interest Rate simulations, Interest Rate Mismatch and Liquidity Risk for Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment.

Starting with a balance sheet model, we quickly introduce tools and traditional models including gap analysis and earnings at risk, stress testing, scenario planning, policy making and simulations, followed by structured analysis required for ICAAP submissions, reporting and recommendations.

1. COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the end of this workshop the participants will be able to:

  1. Understand the capital charge calculation basis for capturing Interest Rate Mismatch Risk for ICAAP.
  2. Work with the primary tools required to measure and manage ALM risk profile of a financial institution.
  3. Measure liquidity and quantify the effectiveness of traditional measurement tools.
  4. Use scenario based methods, stress testing and simulations to highlight ALM and liquidity risk profile for ICAAP.
  5. Develop assumptions for testing Maturity mismatch and liquidity risk for Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment.

2. TRAINING COURSE LEVEL

Intermediate and advance users.

3. TRAINING COURSE PREREQUISITES

Familiarity with basic liquidity concepts, local markets, portfolio management and the Basel II framework.
